Blending avocados in smoothies may not be for everyone, but I like the texture that it creates, especially when combined with other fruits and veggies.
I love avocados because they are packed with nutrients and healthy fats, and I enjoy their subtle and creamy flavor.
Kids love them too, especially when cold and creamy, which makes them feel like they’re eating ice cream. What better way for them to get those essential nutrients in!
In this article, I am going to share nice super tasty avocado smoothie recipes, perfect as a breakfast replacement or a post-workout refreshment drink.
9 Delicious Avocado Smoothies
The below nine avocado smoothie recipes preserve that characteristic avocado flavor, mixed up with other potent flavors and nutrients.
1. Kale, Spinach and Avocado Green Smoothie
Let’s kick off this list of avocado smoothies with perhaps the most nutritious one. Kale and spinach are two of my favorite smoothie veggies, mainly because of their strong nutritional benefits.
Combining those two greens and mixing them up with avocado and various fruits results in an incredibly tasty and rich smoothie. Great fun for the whole family!

This kale, spinach and avocado green smoothie recipe has the perfect balance between vegetables and fruits, making it taste very refreshing and not too green.
I love drinking this in the morning as a powerful breakfast smoothie, or otherwise a few hours before dinner to fight that unavoidable 3 pm afternoon energy crash.
Ingredients:
- 50 grams (or 1 large cup) kale
- 50 grams baby spinach
- 1/2 avocado
- 4 strawberries (optional)
- 1 banana (fresh or frozen)

2. Mango Avocado Smoothie
I love mangoes! They are sweet and tasty and bring that tropical vibe, especially when paired with other fruits like bananas. Bring these fruits together, add some avocado, and you got yourself a creamy tropical delight.
I like this recipe because it also includes some suggestions for other things you can add to pack your smoothie with protein, fiber, and more nutrients.

This deliciously sweet smoothie is filled with tropical flavors that you can enjoy throughout the year, but even more so during the warmer summer months.

Final Thoughts
I do hope this list of nutritious avocado smoothie recipes has motivated you to start preparing more smoothies with avocado as a core ingredient.
For fast and easy smoothies, freeze some fruits in advance. Put one or two servings in a freezer bag to have them ready at any time. Avocados can be frozen, too. Dice them up and make sure to get as much air out of the bag before sealing it up.
You can either freeze different fruits separately or put one recipe’s worth of fruits together in one bag.
